Re: Data sold to Experian, will it end up traded to Facebook?

Interesting stories from BBC about Emma's Diary and then the other stories linked to that on the whole data sharing situation, thanks for the link.

But one thing that piques my interest is I wonder if the selling of the data by the collectors like Emma's Diary is in breach of their own policies?

Experian is not a marketing company, it is a data broker, it does not use the data sold to them for marketing - it onsells it. So if the privacy policy says that they use the data for marketing, and fails to mention sales to data brokers, wouldn't that be a breach?
